About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the site plan performance bond actually covers

A site plan performance bond is a completion guarantee. When the City of Warren approves a site plan, it conditions that approval on the developer completing the required public-facing improvements — paving, curbs, drainage, sidewalks, landscaping — so the bond stands behind that work.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Warren (the obligee). If the improvements aren't completed and the City has to finish them, it can recover its costs against the bond, up to the bond amount.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Developers who complete their approved improvements treat the bond as a site plan formality. Enter the amount the City set, and see your exact price — 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — at the application.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.

The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

File with the City of Warren. Submit the executed bond to the City of Warren to satisfy your site plan approval condition. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the City insists.

What sets the price

The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.

No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.

Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.

One application, issued on the spot.

Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Warren set — pricing starts from $100 and the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
